Windows – 64 Bit Windows 8.1 Failure to reinstall Java JDK and JRE

javajdkjrewindows 8.1

Attempting to update to jre-7u67 from 65 did not appear to work. On reattempting, installation failed with a “Access is denied” message. JDK was still there but I followed recommendations to remove all Java applications and references. Then both new or old JREs and JDKs failed with the same message. A log entry for JDK was “JDK installation failed. Return Code: 1603, ErrorCode: 0 updating component registration”. Can anyone help?
